Hi there and welcome to Mafiascene!

I would recommend downloading the Mafia World Editor and just fool around with it inside the game first. A lot of experience comes from trial and error.
Fooling around a bit first will help you get a basic feel of how Mafia mods work.

If you want to create a custom environment, you can download the clear mission from here:
http://mafiascene.com/modules.php?name=downloads&cat_id=1&last_id=0

You can load it by clicking "intro" inside Mafia's main menu.

For any specifics you are always free to ask.


Btw, in conjuction with the clear mission file, this tutorial explains how to add a player into the world and how to add a custom object from a 3D program. The method can of course be applied to existing Mafia models, but you'll need to find their filenames first.

Oh and first tip to save a heck of a lot frustration:
In any Mafia editor, 3D models are always mentioned with the .i3d suffix. So if you want to add tommy.4ds into the scene, you'll have to enter tommy.i3d into the object properties.

Year ago I made few tutorials about making mods to Mafia. You can watch it and You might find out something you need

Fact is it is in polish, but You can just turn off sound and try to understand something just from video.
